Top Reasons Why Crypto Dropped Today
In the past two days, the overall demand for Bitcoin and Ethereum by institutional investors has significantly declined. For example, the U.S. spot Ether ETFs have recorded a net cash outflow of more than $250 million in the past two days led by BlackRock’s ETHA.
Additionally, the U.S. spot BTC ETFs, led by BlackRock’s IBIT, recorded a net cash outflow of more than $130 million in the last two days. On-chain data analysis also shows an accelerated selloff by whale investors.
What are Experts’ Midterm Expectations for Crypto Bull Market
The crypto market is awaiting tomorrow’s FOMC meeting minutes and U.S. unemployment claims to gauge Friday’s Fed Chair Jerome Powell speech. Furthermore, last week’s hotter than expected inflation data has faded the bets on Fed rate cut in September.
The midterm crypto outlook will heavily be influenced by Bitcoin and Ethereum’s price action. As for ETH, the lower edge of the CME gap around $4,098 remains a magnet, with technical analysis showing $4k as a major support level.
